Call of Cthulhu d20. I don't have any experience with the non-d20 versions of the game, so they might be better. FUDGE 10th Anniversary Edition. An open-ended rule set that can be very rewarding if you want to spend the time tweaking it. WitchCraft, All Flesh Must Be Eaten or Conspiracy X. All...

I like the way it's done now. A standard ability score generation mechanic is presented in the PHB, and several optional ones are presented in the DMG. Personally, I would like a 'potential' option. That is, if you roll high, you are closer to the top of your potential; if you roll low, you...

It almost feels like an entirely different game from what I've read. The genre/fluff changes seem huge to me. In a way, 3.0e/3.5e was a "back to the dungeon" edition, paying tribute to the style of 1e. 4.0e seems to be in the style of 2.0/2.5e with sweeping ideological changes (removal of...

Very cool. I have seen Spirit of the Century mentioned several times, but I didn't know it was based on FATE.

I have the dice you are talking about, and I purchased them from the CHESSEX booth at Dragon*Con. They don't seem to be listed on the CHESSEX site however.

I was going to suggest WitchCraft, but I see you've already tried it. If you're only interested in a new rules system, try FUDGE or Savage Worlds. FUDGE is free to download, and Savage Worlds is only $10 now for the core rulebook. http://www.fudgerpg.com/ http://www.fudgefactor.org/ for ideas...

I don't care either way. The only thing that would concern me was if the inclusion of warforged knocked a classic core race (such as gnomes) out of the first PHB.

I've always described it this way: Dwarven women tend to wear their hair in long braids. Sometimes, the front braids are wrapped behind the ears and then braided underneath the chin in a long luxurious lock. Humans often mistake this for a beard.

Also, the Ghouls in Kadath made a cute "meeping" noise. That was really weird. On a side-side note, I recently finished Swords of Lankhmar by Leiber which also featured alternative ghouls and heroic house cats. We can forgive Carter seeking the assistance of other beings, as he was obviously...

I voted for simpler/faster. I would be fine with keeping the same encumbrance rules we have now in 3.5, but if there's a simpler and faster way to do it without making it too abstract or worthless, then I'm all for it.

So very true! Also, the "Carter" of Kadath could easily be switched out with Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars, another huge influence on D&D.

Skills & Powers were a set of additional books you could use with your first or later printings of the core 2e books. It was the same with 1e. The main books were reprinted, but the only real changes inside were errata. The 1.5 was really Unearthed Arcana, which, once again, was an additional...

Evard's Black Tentacles suddenly become even more horrific... :confused:

I think having Warforged as a playable race is OK, but I don't want them in the first core book.

The changes to fluff might make me stick with 3.5 instead of house ruling 4.0. The changes to crunch are all that's keeping me interested in 4.0.

With the new $10 rulebook for Savage Worlds, it's a very tempting system.

That's right.... and the same edition of Monopoly has been selling for a long, long time. Even with "themed" editions released (some with minor rules changes) the original is still manufactured and sold. :cool:

No. Honest criticism of a game mechanic is not an emotional reaction. It is not an attack on C&C or Troll Lords. Also, correcting misinformation presented about a game book is not "anti" anything other than anti-misinformation. When I say evangelism I mean evangelism. There is no hidden...

The evangelism of C&C has become quite "classic" in its own right. :D Starting a semantic argument over every minor criticism of C&C will soon be next to "my hat of 3e nos no limit" and "OD&D is the only true game" in the top ten of enworld "classics". There are no feats in C&C. In the PHB...

He or she, alternating, seems fine to me. It wasn't distracting to me in 3e.
